Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT07075939Recruiting
Centralized care for ovarian cancer: a study of outcomes
This study looks at whether having ovarian cancer care coordinated by a special team (Multidisciplinary Tumor Board) leads to better outcomes. It reviews records of patients treated between 2018 and 2023 to understand how centralization affects their health.
Carpi, ModenaAges 18–99 - NCT07714499Recruiting
Energy use in healthy people vs. those with intestinal failure
This study looks at how the body uses energy (calories) in people with intestinal failure compared to healthy controls. The results may help improve nutritional care.
LjubljanaAges 18–65 - NCT07161713Recruiting
Relaxation and stress reduction study for cancer survivors
This study is testing whether relaxation and stress reduction techniques can help your body heal at a cellular level. If you are a cancer survivor who finished treatment at least 6 months ago, you may be able to join.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04797299Recruiting
Testing surgery alone for low-risk ductal carcinoma in situ
This trial studies whether removing the abnormal breast cells with breast-conserving surgery only (without additional treatment) is enough for people with low-risk ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). It may help some patients avoid extra treatments if their risk is very low.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 46 years+ - NCT07708870Recruiting
Nurse-led support for older adults with advanced lung cancer
This study tests a nurse-led support program for older adults (65+) with advanced lung cancer and their main family caregiver. The goal is to see if special help from a nurse can improve quality of life for both you and your caregiver.
Taipei, TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07022678RecruitingPhase 3
Xylitol dental wipes to reduce infection risk in childhood leukemia
This trial tests whether using xylitol dental wipes can lower the risk of bloodstream infections in children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are receiving chemotherapy. If you or your child have AML and will have at least two cycles of chemo that include cytarabine, this study may help reduce infection risk.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 1–25 - NCT05382338RecruitingPhase 3
Sodium thiosulfate to protect hearing in medulloblastoma
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding sodium thiosulfate during treatment for newly diagnosed medulloblastoma can reduce the risk of hearing loss. It is designed for children and teens whose cancer meets specific low-risk or average-risk tumor and lab features.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 4–21 - NCT03959085RecruitingPhase 3
Inotuzumab plus chemotherapy for high-risk childhood leukemia
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding inotuzumab to standard post-induction chemotherapy improves outcomes for children and young teens with high-risk B-ALL, mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), or certain high-risk B-LLy. It may help by targeting leukemia cells more directly, but participation depends on specific age, lab results, and medical history rules.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12 months–25 years - NCT06368817RecruitingPhase 2
Lower radiation dose for children with CNS germinoma
This trial will see if giving a lower dose of radiation therapy can still effectively treat children and young adults with a type of brain tumor called germinoma. The goal is to reduce side effects while keeping the cancer under control.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 3–29 - NCT07702292RecruitingPhase 2
68Ga-BED003 PET scan for certain cancers
This trial tests a new PET imaging agent that targets a protein called FAP, which appears in many solid tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can better find and measure cancer in the body.
Bergamo, LombardyAges 18–79 - NCT03067181RecruitingPhase 3
Active surveillance and chemotherapy for germ cell tumors
This study looks at how to manage germ cell tumors in children and young adults using careful monitoring for some patients and chemotherapy for others. It aims to see whether these approaches can control the cancer while avoiding unnecessary treatment when possible.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT03118986RecruitingPhase 2
Olanzapine to prevent nausea during chemo in children
This study tests whether adding olanzapine can better control nausea (CIV) in children getting very nausea-causing chemotherapy or transplant treatment. It may help reduce severe nausea and vomiting while they’re in the hospital.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2.5 years–18 years - NCT03126916RecruitingPhase 3
Testing added therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma in children
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding either a targeted drug (lorlatinib) or a radioactive treatment (131I-MIBG) to intensive chemotherapy improves outcomes for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. It may help by aiming at tumor cells more directly alongside standard treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12 months–30 years - NCT03180268RecruitingPhase 3
Watch or radiate after surgery for grade II meningioma
This trial studies whether people with a grade II meningioma that has been completely removed by surgery should be monitored only or treated with radiation. It may help reduce the risk of the tumor coming back while balancing radiation side effects.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03280394Recruiting
Liquid blood test for mature B-cell tumors
This study looks at how a “liquid biopsy,” a test done on blood, may help in people with mature B-cell tumors. It mainly checks whether you can take part and complete the planned study procedures.
Bellinzona, Canton TicinoAges 18 years+ - NCT03408964Recruiting
Blood tests to predict treatment response in prostate cancer
This study checks whether certain blood markers can help predict how well people with prostate cancer will respond to therapy. It may help doctors choose the most effective treatment sooner by using information from your blood.
BellinzonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT03466424Recruiting
Short radiation then chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests a short course of radiation given before chemotherapy for people with locally advanced rectal cancer (cancer that has grown into nearby tissue and/or nearby lymph nodes but can still be removed). It may help shrink the tumor and make treatment more effective while assessing how well this approach works.
